We understand. Not everyone can make it to every Cyclones game. With that in mind, we’ve created a series of Mini Plans designed to maximize fun, flexibility, and affordability. Best of all, Mini Plans are still big on benefits and perks. In fact, every Mini Plan this year comes with FREE FOOD at each game in the plan and a FREE CYCLONES CAP with each plan -- for just $16 per game!

Same great seats to every game in your plan. (Flex Plan holders will receive the best available seat, in their seating category, to each game in their plan.)

FREE FOOD: a hot dog or hamburger, soft drink, and chips at every game for every seat in your plan!

Priority Seating: Select the area in which you want to sit and receive the best seats prior to tickets going on sale to the general public (based on availability).

EXCLUSIVE Mini Plan Holder cap giveaway.

Exclusive Invitation to a Cyclones pre-season practice.

First chance to purchase additional tickets before they go on sale to the general public, including Opening Day and playoffs.

On Sunday, April 25th, from 10am to 2pm, the Brooklyn Cyclones will host an Open House at MCU Park.

Any fan interested in Season Tickets, Mini Plans, or Group Tickets is invited to the ballpark for a personal guided tour, and the opportunity to select the exact seat in which they would like to sit.

“This is a great way for fans to get a true feel for the actual seats they’re purchasing,” said Cyclones General Manager Steve Cohen. “Fans will be able to interact on a one-on-one basis with the Cyclones staff, address any questions or concerns they might have, and get a sneak peek at what the park looks like as we head into our 10th season.”

Fans will line up at the MCU Park front gate, and will be escorted to the seating bowl on an individual basis by a member of the Cyclones’ Ticket Office. Each Cyclones representative will provide live personal service throughout the entire Open House process. Fans will have the ability to select a seat from among the available inventory, and purchase it on the spot, if they so choose.

Brooklyn Cyclones Group Tickets start at $4, with every member of the group receiving a giveaway item. Mini Plans are themed ticket packages that start at $16 a game, and include FREE FOOD at every game, and a FREE Cyclones cap for every seat in the plan. Season Tickets start at $12 a game and include over $400 of savings like free food, free giveaways, free parking, and free playoff tickets.

No reservations are necessary to attend the Cyclones’ Open House on April 25th. Fans will be attended to on a first-come, first-serve basis, beginning at 10am.

The New York-Penn League, in its 72nd year, is the oldest continually operated Class A league in Minor League Baseball and this year fans will have the chance to help select the league’s All-Time Team.

“This league has such a great history and it’s something we wanted to celebrate”, stated league president Ben J. Hayes. “Over 2,400 players who have played in the NYPL have gone on to appear in Major League Baseball, from Hall-of-Famers like Jim Rice and Tony Perez to present day stars such as Ryan Howard, Johan Santana and C.C. Sabathia. Back in 1960 the Geneva (NY) Redlegs had both Tony Perez and Pete Rose on the same team”, Hayes said. “You wonder if fans, at the time, knew how successful they would be? Probably not, since the team actually finished in last place.”

The New York-Penn League All-Time Team is presented by the 300,000 members of CSEA- New York’s leading union. “CSEA is proud to be associated with the New York-Penn League and its rich history in our region,” said CSEA President Danny Donohue. “CSEA is marking our centennial anniversary in 2010, which makes it natural to be involved in a project that provides historical perspective. CSEA’s centennial provides a chance to reflect on where we’ve come from and how we can become better in the future – it’s a lot like what the New York Penn-League is all about.”

The New York-Penn League All-Time Team will be chosen by fan voting online at www.VoteNYPL.com through August 1, 2010. In addition to choosing players at each position, fans will also have a voice in picking a manager of the team. More information can be found at www.newyork-pennleague.com.

The NYPL All-Time Team will be unveiled at the league’s All-Star game in Staten Island on August 17.

On Monday, former Cyclone Ike Davis made his major-league debut with the New York Mets, and went 2-for-4 with an RBI in a win over the Chicago Cubs. Davis, the Mets' 2008 first-round pick, began his pro career in Brooklyn, and becomes the 25th Cyclones alum to make it to the major leagues.

Davis, 23, was batting .364 with two homers and three doubles in 33 at-bats for Buffalo (AAA) before getting the call. He made a splash with the Mets this Spring, hitting .480 (12-for-25) with seven runs, three doubles, three home runs, and 10 RBI in 12 games.

In 2009, the left-handed swinging slugger hit .298 with 20 homers and 31 doubles while playing for St. Lucie (A) and Binghamton (AA). He then hit .341 over 21 games against some of baseball's top prospects in the Arizona Fall League.

Davis made his professional debut in 2008 with Brooklyn, and made his mark immediately, doubling in his first at-bat and hitting in 15 straight games for the Cyclones to start his pro career. Davis finished the '08 season hitting .256 (55-for-215) in 58 games.

Ike is the son of Ron Davis, who pitched in the major leagues for 11 season, playing for the Yankees, Twins, Cubs, Dodgers, and Giants. Ron Davis was an All-Star in 1981.

Including Davis, 25 total players have played for the Cyclones and gone on to appear in a major league game.

The catcher threw out a whopping 31 of 69 would-be basestealers (.450) to make his mark on Cyclones history.

Midway through the 2007 season, Butera and fellow former Cyclone, Dustin Martin, were traded by New York to Minnesota, in exchange for second baseman Luis Castillo.

Butera was named to the Twins' 2010 Opening Day roster, serving as the team's back-up catcher, behind 2009 Americal League MVP Joe Mauer. Drew's father, Sal, was also a major league catcher, playing for the Twins, Blue Jays, Reds and Expos over a nine-year MLB career.

Including Butera, 24 total players have played for the Cyclones and gone on to appear in a major league game. Seven former Cyclones are currently on a major league active roster: Brian Bannister (Royals) Butera, Mike Jacobs (Mets), Matt Lindstrom (Astros), Jenrry Mejia (Mets), Angel Pagan (Mets), and Joe Smith (Indians).
